Michelle

Owner &

educator

Michelle began her career as a hairdresser over 30 years ago. She traveled to Denver, Colorado for a week to attend the Master Cutting School taught by Phillip Wilson, attended a cutting class from the late Gary Gerard, and was lucky enough to attend a hands on training in the Structure In Motion cutting technique by the owner and creator of Sexy Concepts, Michael O’Rourke.

​

Michelle has a special eye for color and has spent countless hours perfecting her Master Colorist title. She is deemed Master Colorist in the Goldwell line. Although we no longer carry some of these color lines she is also trained in Framesi™, Logics™, L’Oréal™, Redken™, and Inoa™.

​

Michelle's books are fully committed to her current clients at this time. If you would her to review your hair needs and recommend a stylist, please send us an email.

Rebecca

Level 4 stylisT 

If you’re looking for a hairstylist who loves deep chats, laughing through random conversations, and advice about how to help your specific hair type you’ve found her! I’m happiest when I can connect with someone either through our love of food, kids, dogs or exploring the PNW. I am passionate about creating hair that works with your lifestyle. I love brainstorming on your hair dreams and goals as well as what is realistically possible. I am not easily offended and love to hear feedback from each appointment to learn what truly works best for you.

​

I am from the East Coast originally and have found my forever Salon home here in Des Moines. When I’m not working full time at Salon Michelle, I am either at a park or chilling at home with my fiancée, two boys, and dogs. I graduated from the Paul Mitchell school in Wichita in 2010.

 

I tailor each appointment to my clients needs and conversations are based off of your personality. I don’t mind having conversations from the second you walk in the door or if you’re more of a quiet person I will accommodate you as well. Ask for Rebecca with your booking and I can’t wait to meet you and to see what we can create together.
